Empirical evidence suggests that a typical CD jewel case weighs between 3.0 oz and 3 1\/8 oz. Let’s call it 3.1 oz. I have to ship about 864 of them to Alaska. That means I’m shipping 164 lbs. of jewel cases.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, I can move the CDs to binder cases like these:<\/p>\n

\"CD<\/a><\/p>\n

Each of them weighs about 3 lbs and contains 324 discs. Well, really, they have 324 pockets, but as you can see, I’m loading every other pocket with the album art\/booklet for the CD:<\/p>\n

\"CD<\/a><\/p>\n

I figure I need six cases like that. That means I’m shipping 18 lbs, for a net savings of 146 lbs. Sounds good to me.<\/p>\n

The best part is that, when I get there, I can put all six binders into deep storage, since I hardly ever listen to CDs, once I’ve ripped them into iTunes.<\/p>\n
